3.2 Basics

The measuring data is transmitted via Profibus, either over the PCI card ibaCom-L2B or

the Profibus modules ibaBM-DPM-S or ibaBM-DP.

The online access (TCP/IP or DP/MPI) is used for the transmission of the address book

and the request handshake.

The following combinations are possible:

SIMATIC S7/FM458 with ibaCom-L2B card

SIMATIC S7/FM458 with ibaBM-DPM-S

SIMATIC S7/FM458 with ibaBM-DP

Issue 2.6 9

ibaPDA uses the interface of the Siemens programming device (PG-interface) for request

handshake and the transmission of address books. Depending on the hardware and

software installed, different access points are available for data acquisition:

TCP/IP: The connection to the control is established over corresponding CP

modules and the standard network interface of the PC. No additional software is

required for the connection.

PC/CP: There are several, SIMATIC-specific access points which fall under this

designation. In contrast to the TCP/IP connection, the STEP 7 software or

respectively the drivers for the MPI/DP interface must be installed on the PC for all

connection types within the PC/CP group.

MPI, Profibus: The connection to the control is established over the MPI or

Profibus interface of the PC (MPI-adapter or Siemens CP5611 or others).

TCP/IP, ISO: Either the standard network interface of the PC or a compatible

interface card should be used.

The transmission of measured data runs over Profibus DP to the iba-Profibus slaves:

ibaCom-L2B (ibaPDA Version 6.15.0 or higher) or

ibaBM-DPM-S (ibaPDA Version 6.17.0 or higher) or

ibaBM-DP (ibaPDA Version 6.32.0 or higher)

The number of data per connection depends on the type of the Profibus slave. If one

slave does not provide enough data, additional connections should be configured.

Note

For using the request functionality with ibaBM-DPM-S you further need to establish an

online connection between the ibaPDA PC and the ibaBM-DPM-S device, via Ethernet

TCP/IP or USB.


10 Issue 2.6

3.3 Configuration on FM458 / SIMATIC TDC side

3.3.1 General Information

Up to 122 Bytes can be transmitted per connection (i.e. per DP station) with ibaCom-

L2B, and up to 244 Bytes with ibaBM-DP/-DPM-S.

If this data volume is not sufficient, it is possible to configure several connections per

CPU (up to 8 per device).

Each connection requires:

A DP station of "ibaL2B/DPM64 (32R/32D)" or "ibaBM-DPM-S/DP-Monitor" type in

the hardware configuration

A triplet of the blocks S7DB_P, SERPDA and SERPDB in the CFC program. The

DB number in S7DB_P.XDB must be unique as well as the channel name and the

station number in SERPDB.AT.

A module FM458 request or TDC request in ibaPDA, the module must be uniquely

assigned to a DB.

If you want to request data from several CPUs from one TDC rack, connections have to

be configured in each of the CPUs. It is not possible to acquire data from several CPUs

with one connection.

3.3.2 Hardware (Profibus)

One iba-Profibus slave should be defined for each connection.

The following GSD files should be used:

Measurement with ibaCom-L2B: iba0F02.gsd

Add a module „ibaL2B/-DPM64 (32R/32D) <o>“ with the slot „FM458/TDC-Request“

(for up to 32 analog values and 32 digital values) in your hardware configuration.

You find the module in the hardware catalog under PROFIBUS-DP - Additional Field

Devices - General.


Issue 2.6 11

Measurement with ibaBM-DP/-DPM-S: ibaDPMSi.gsd

Add a module „ibaBM-DPM-S/DP-Monitor“ with the slots „S7-Req unit consistent

Slot 0" and „… Slot 1" (for up to 244 bytes) to your hardware configuration. You find

the module in the hardware catalog under PROFIBUS-DP - Additional Field Devices

- General.

3.3.3 Software

3.3.3.1 Installation of FBAPDA library

You will find a more detailed description of the installation in the appendix, chapter 4.1

“iba Library”.

3.3.3.2 Wiring of blocks

The so-called "agents" which handle the request procedure have to be programmed on

the FM458 component. The following function blocks are required for each connection:

Block S7DB_P (standard block)

This block creates a data block which is S7-compliant and to be used for data

exchange with ibaPDA.

We recommend creating a "DB10" for the first connection and "DB11", "DB12" etc.

for further connections.

Recommended time slice: T5

Block SERPDA (from iba's user library FBAPDA)

This block handles the handshake with ibaPDA via the related data block. It takes

the list of variables to be measured, calculates the memory addresses on that basis

and transmits the addresses to the SERPDB block.


Block SERPDB (from iba's user library FBAPDA)

Every cycle, this block acquires the actual values from the calculated memory

addresses, puts them into the message buffer and transmits them to the specified

interface.



12 Issue 2.6

Wiring of blocks for L2B-request:

Wiring of blocks for DPM-S/DP-request:

Note

Of course, the standard block "@PRODP" is still required once for initialization of the

Profibus interface!

If the size of one Profibus slave is insufficient to transmit all data required you can multiply

the capacity of data by copying these three blocks.

You should modify the following data of the copied blocks:

Data block number (connection to S7DB_P.XDB)

Channel name (name to SERPDB.AT)

Station number (address level 1 to SERPDB.AT)

Tip

Since version 6.15.3 of ibaPDA you can define a larger DB, e. g. with 10000 bytes, in

order to accelerate the transmission of the address book. But keep in mind that the run

time of the block SERPDA during address book transmission will increase with bigger

DB size!

3.3.5 Other characteristics

3.3.5.1 Processor load

For the sporadic load due to transmission of the address book, the SERPDA function

block requires a computing time of max. ca. 10 ms to 20 ms per cycle. The time slice in

which the block is configured (normally T5) must therefore be chosen so that sufficient

processing time still remains for the sporadic T5 "Transmit address book" task.

If this time is not available, then an overload indication is displayed during address book

transmission. Since this overload is only sporadic and is caused in T5 and thus has no

influence on T1-T4 processing, this indication can be ignored and deleted again via

acknowledgement.


16 Issue 2.6

The cyclical transmission operation by the SERPDB function block requires computing time per transmission cycle for assignment of the measurement values in the local data buffer and for transmission of the data into the rack link.

3.3.5.2 Load limitation

In order to prevent a CPU overload due to the increase in computing time when making

a request, the blocks have a load limitation (connector LIM).

After the start of acquisition, the function block follows a kind of run-up ramp when taking

only parts of the requested values per cycle into its processing. During this phase the

required computing time is checked. If the load exceeds the value set at the LIM

connector, then the measurement values that have not yet been processed are rejected

and a “processor overload” error message appears in ibaPDA. The user needs to reduce

the number of the requested values in ibaPDA or increase the sampling time base

(ibaPDA base measuring rate or the PDA channel time bases) or increase the time slice

for the SERPDB in the TDC system.

When “LIM = 0.0”, load monitoring will be switched off.

Important note

The load is checked only at the start of acquisition. A load increase due to other acyclic

processes during on-going measurement are not detected by the SERPDB function

block.

Due to unfavorable temporal relations overload errors can occur despite monitoring. The

load increase in high-priority tasks has repercussions on the capacity of low-priority

tasks. But the latter lead to a load increase only after expiration of their task cycle. But

with slow low-priority task times the run-up of the SERPDB function block is already

completed at this point.

3.3.5.3 Transmission cycle

The SERPDB works in the configured sampling time (primarily T1).

If the data is requested by ibaPDA in a slower cycle, then the function block gears down

its own transmission cycle. In other words, it transmits no longer in the projected cycle

time, but rather in the cycle in which the data are read by ibaPDA (rounded to a multiple

of its own cycle). This way, the processor load can be reduced.

The transmission cycle is also limited by the Profibus cycle time which is based on the

bus data volume (number of participants and telegram length) and the bus bitrate. The

cycle time will be specified in HW Config and in ibaPDA diagnostics of the interfaces

ibaCom-L2B or ibaBM-DP.


Issue 2.6 17

apply:

No TCP/IP connection

Wrong address, rack- or slot number

Wrong DB-number

DB too small (less than 2200 bytes)

Error in configuration of service blocks; an initialization error number will be

generated which corresponds to the YTS connector of the SERPDA block, see

chapter Messages "SERPDA"


Issue 2.6 25

3.4.5 Generating the address book

If the connection to the agents has been established, the address book can be loaded:

Enter the CPU name, e. g. "FM_1" or "TDC_N1"

This is absolutely necessary in order to distinguish single CPUs in case of multi-

processor systems.

Set option "macro filter" (only for ibaPDA version 6.15.3 or higher).

If the macro filter is enabled (= default), the contents of macro blocks will NOT be

added to the address book.

If the filter is disabled, the blocks of a macro will be taken into account too.

Click on button <Create address book>

The data of the address book will be transmitted. The address book file will be

stored in the folder ":.. \iba\ibaPDA\Server\FM458".

Tip 1

If you have configured multiple connections to a CPU it is enough to load an address

book of one connection. You can use the same address book for the other connections

to this CPU.

Tip 2

Depending on the project size the transmission of the address book could take some

time. You may accelerate this by moving the block SERPDA of this connection to the

time slice T4.

Tip 3

With ibaPDA version 6.15.3 or higher you can make the address book transmission

even faster by increasing the size of the DB for this connection!

Tip 4

With ibaPDA version 6.15.3 or higher you can further reduce the transmission time of

the address book by enabling the macro filter!

Note

You can also work with an address book not up-to-date. Shifts in memory have no effect

because the memory addresses are mapped on the symbols not until the time of

accessing the CPU. Access on function blocks which had been deleted in the meantime

will cause error messages.

3.4.6 Creating a list of variables

Select the address book which is related to this CPU connection in the field (combo box)

"CPU-name" on the “General” tab or on the “Connection” tab.

You have the following possibilities for creating a list of variables:

On one hand, you may click on <Edit FM458 symbols> (hyperlink) in the General

tab in the request module's dialog in order to open the browser.

On the other hand, you may click on a cell in the signal table, column Symbol, on

the tabs Analog or Digital of the module. If you click on the button in the cell, the

browser opens too.

But an easier way to select signals to be measured is the drag & drop method from

CFC-chart to the IO Manager in ibaPDA.

The essential requirement is that the ibaPDA-client is installed on the same PC like

the SIMATIC Manager.

Therefore, start the CFC-editor and the ibaPDA-client, windows in "restore down"

mode. Open ibaPDA IO Manager, module and signal table. Then click on the

connector in the CFC chart you want to measure, keep the left mouse key

depressed and drag it into the IO Manager on the desired row in the signal table

and let it drop. The CFC-connector is now available in the signal table of the L2B-

S7-Request module.

3.4.7 Starting measurement

By clicking the button <Apply> or <OK>, the IO configuration and the variable list will be

checked and applied to the ibaPDA server.

The following steps are performed:

Verification of the license and consistency of IO configuration

With ibaCom-L2B: Checking the Profibus connection

With ibaBM-DPM-S: Transfer of list of variables to the ibaBM-DPM-S device via

online connection (TCP/IP or USB)

With ibaBM-DP: Transfer of list of variables to the ibaBM-DP device via fiber optics

in Flex mode, and via online connection (TCP/IP or USB) in compatibility mode.

Request handshake: Transfer of list of variables to the FM458 or SIMATIC CPU via

online connection (TCP/IP, MPI or DP)

Checking of data storage configuration

After starting the measurement you can see the raw values of the requested variables in

the Analog or Digital tab of the ibaBM-DPM-S module.

This is not (yet) possible for measuring via ibaCom-L2B.

4.1 iba Library

The iba library FBAPDA is suitable for the use with SIMATIC Manager V5.5 or higher. It

contains the Request blocks described in the manual, which are required for the use of

ibaPDA-Request-FM458/TDC.

You find the iba library on the DVD "iba Software & Manuals" under

…\04_Libraries_and_examples\10_Libraries\02_SIMATIC_TDC_FM458.

The following blocks are included:

iba connection Block name Note

general DCF77 For time synchronization

ibaFOB-TDC ibaFOB-SD ibaFOB-TDCexp ibaFOB-SDexp

SER04A Request administration

SER04B Request data transfer

ibaFOB-TDCexp

ibaFOB-SDexp

SER05A Request administration

SER05B Request data transfer

ibaBM-DP ibaBM-DPM-S ibaCom-L2B

SERPDA Request administration

SERPDB Request data transfer

4.1.1 Integrating the library

The library contains the files fbapda_fm1.a, fbapda_tdc_Cpu551.a,

fbapda_tdc_Cpu555.a, fbapda.msk, FBAPDA_A.HLP and FBAPDA_B.HLP.

Depending on the setting of the CFC compiler (under Options – Customize –

Compile/Download), they have to be copied into the STEP7-CFC block folder.

System data from installation: Copy the blocks to

…\STEP7\s7cfc\sdblocks.

System data from project folder: Copy the blocks to

…\STEP7\S7Proj\project_folder\Global\sdblocks.


Issue 2.6 29

Then, you can import the library into the project. Open the menu Options – Block Types

in the CFC chart and import FBAPDA.

4.1.2 Integrating the blocks

After having imported the library, the iba blocks are available in the catalog under

ibaPDA.

Drag the block via drag & drop into the chart.

Pay attention to the sequence and the time class of the blocks, see chapter “Wiring of

blocks”.
